Colitis: If you've dealt with it, please come in and advise me

I would advise agaginst any grains where round up is used on them. some are being riped early by disting with round up for example.. and I feel like wheat may have become a problem for many.. it did me and its not the gluten.. is the round upready GMA wheat. just an idea

I am so sorry you are going thru this.. I have had a few bad times myself.

If they gave you Cipro that probably means you have gastroenteritis (helicobacter or enterococcus infection). It happens to dogs a lot because they eat everything the smell off the ground. That’s common in people from eating out at sketchy places. I had it in Thailand. We went to a local healer and he gave me a bowl of hot peppermint oil to drink (very potent), and told me no more dairy until healed. Dairy has cultures that feed the infection.
Moving forward, limit your food intake to butchers and grocers you know and trust, and wash everything.

Just sipping water and not eating will make it worse- your stomach acid (and overall body ph) is a massive factor in your body's overall health. You NEED to find something simple that you CAN eat:

Here's my method: bake a potato in the microwave. It only takes a few minutes.
-Eat half of it plain, with salt.
-wait 15 minutes. If you feel ok (chances are, you'll feel FANTASTIC) then eat the other half potato with Butter (real butter) and salt.
-wait 15 minutes. If you still feel ok, then potatoes and butter will keep you alive if the colitis gets really bad.
-next up: eggs. Fry an egg, sunny side up. Mage sure the yolk is runny.
-Eat it with salt. See how you feel in 15 minutes.

Next up: rice: plain white rice, with butter and salt. ABSOLUTELY NO SOY SAUCE.

if that doesn't kill you, then try peanut butter.


The above foods are extremely basic, but they are complete enough nutrition to keep you alive and healthy while your body heals. The foods above are generally safe for people with Crohn's, colitis, ibs, autoimmune disorders, celiacs, etc.

Food that is likely to hurt you:

Lettuce (though spinach should be fine)
Bran
Oats
Milk
Cheese
Red meat
Soy
Various vegetable oils: olive oil for example

Hope that helps. I went through it in 2012, nearly killed me. I learned an unbelievable amount about nutrition in a very short time.

Okay, this is the only thing I did different....I ate a lot yesterday, at least more than usual. I had two eggs and bacon, part of a salad from Applebees, and some mozzarella sticks with marinara. I ate some popcorn and three chocolate glazed donuts...they're my favorite, but the rest of the package of them are going to the trash....no more sugar for me for awhile.

That's as much as I'll eat in 2-3 days. I intermittent fast, and I'm down to one meal a day, with a snack. I don't know what was with me that day eating so much.

It is not ulcerative colitis and the cat scan showed no diverticulitis, thankfully, the ER doc said. This is the first time this has happened to me.

But I'm not seeing how eating a lot would give me an infection.

At any rate, I can cut out wheat. It's not like I eat a lot of it anyway. Milk is going to be harder, but I'll work on it.

I do have castor oil, and I'm going to rub it all over my belly.


Thank you again....

Mozza sticks, restaurant food, 3 GLAZED DONUTS??!! WTF??!

you're going to have to cut that shit out of you want to feel better with colitis or gallbladder issues.

Very Important, please choose Organic, non-GMO foods as much as possible!

Organic donuts. :)

.......


I know, I don't know what was with me that day. What can I say?....

I have NEVER had a problem like this because of food, or anything else. NEVER.


This is all new for me, eh? I'm trying to figure out how to best move forward until I get the colonoscopy and find out what the source of disease is.

At any rate, I've mostly just slept since getting home. I'm actually feeling a little better...sleep is so important. There's still the blood, which freaks me right the hell out, but I'm feeling better. I've been up for almost an hour and no cramping pain, this is good.... go team cosmic!

...thank you everyone for your help!

You must surely take advantage of Kratom. It is a miracle plant that will help with the nausea and the pain. It has a mild analgesic effect. People the world over use this miracle plant.

People with colitis have used it to great effect.

You are lucky to have Colitis and not Crohns. 31 years with Crohns and 12 years with fistulas I just want to OD on pain killers and die

Both my father and my Aunt ( his sister) have it and they both deal with it differently. First you must understand it is a psychosomatic illness, in other words the illness is caused by you and your anxiety and your fears and your nervousness. If you are watching a scary movie or fear your boss, whatever it goes straight to your colon. Diets help but until you change your attitude on life and how you deal with stress it will keep coming back,its kinda like an ulcer,another psychosomatic illness. My aunt loves life, she sails, plays cards, is very social, loves to cook and DRINK! You know the boating world. She just said, Nope, not gonna let it ruin me and she has very little problem with it. My father however "holds things in" get the metaphor??
Dumb taking antibiotics, unnecessary and will make you shit bloat Diarra 6 weeks from now and bacteria and candida team up and cling together in your gut, very counterproductive,

I wouldn’t use a microwave because it depletes nutrition in foods. Just cook it in an oven.

Yeah he ate like crap. No wonder his body acted up. Fix the diet.

So sorry. Here is a link to earth clinic with some things that have helped people. Have you tried turmeric?

Some good advice on here. I can only suggest high grad peppermint oil - start w/ 2 drops in 8oz water to calm ur system down. Best wishes for feeling better soon

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (organic with the mother) and a few oz of fruit juice. Drink quickly. I get relief in 15-20 minutes it's amazing and the only thing that works that fast.

Eat only organic

So, if there is some kind of underlying disease, that has nothing to do with this colitis?

I was not upset when this happened, seriously I was happy. I dunno.

The last BO I had last year, I was sure it was because I was terribly disappointed in the world - last year was tough for all of us - I was disappointed in everything. I asked the ER doc if it could be because of my deep disappointment, and I was surprised when he said yes. That one happened almost two years after I had the other nine of them. I thought I had been finished with them.

I'm going to take your post as advise....but I really wasn't upset. For sure, once the colonoscopy is done, if there is no underlying disease, then I'll know I'm a basket case....heh, I really don't think it's why, though, however I could deal with my emotions much easier than I can deal with disease. That would be a dream come true if it's just emotional based.

I've only had two cramping episodes since since I last posted and I haven't yet passed any blood this morning, so it seems like it is getting better.

Thank you everyone! I know you think I'm a dumbass for eating like I did, but I had no idea this would happen....pfht, I don't even know if that's responsible.

Oh, and yes, I smoke medical marijuana. I wasn't even able to smoke during the night of hell. All it's done for me since is to help me sleep, which is good. Having a decent night's sleep has helped me immensely.

Watch out for those GMO's

I don't use them anymore for food... because a teenage years and years ago proved that plants will not grown and in fact die when watered with COLD microwaved water.

I tried her experiment.. started a bunch of bean seeds in cups... grew until they had several leaves.. then began to water 1/2 with ordinary tap water.. and the other half with tap water that had been heated in the microwave... (and cooled first.. for you ones who love to say hot water kills)

all of the microwaved watered ones shrived and died. I have no used one since for anything going into my body.

I used to love mine to reheat leftovers.. and all that.. made a big pot of coffee and then reheated that over a couple days.. made my tea in the microwave.. glorious tool or so I thought...

I have a tiny microwave I can use to sterilize some things and I heat the rice packs I made to use as heating pads.. that's it.


GLAD TO SEE YOU EATING Gypsy...:hugs 1:

I had colitis so bad I would black out on the toilet from the pain.

Literally unconscious wake up on the floor with my pants down.

I did what people typically suggest.

Cut out bread, sugar, and ate smaller meals.

You don't want too much fiber so careful of full vegetarian diet. Cooked meats and fats are easy to digest.

I thought eating a lot of eggs would be best, but that made it difficult to poop also. Gotta eat some fiber.

I wish you well on your journey. I had to have a large part of my Colon removed due to Diverticulitis. It was hell and I almost died.

I will recommend you look into Jini Patel Thompson. Her books and her products.

I used her powdered drink before and after my surgeries. It really helped.

And one other tip. Stop eating all sugar.

I only eat sugar now once every couple months at like a party or something. I might eat a piece of cake or a cookie. The rest of the time. No sugar and no corn syrup.

I just had some homemade chicken broth. Thankfully, I had some wings in my freezer. I was going to make buffalo wings with them....was, lol.

I swear, homemade chicken broth is like sacred food, it's so comforting. I had a couple of tears of bread I put in the broth, and that was good, too. I'm going to start taking the meds at different times.

I know I need to order some probiotics, but I've usually gotten my in Las Cruces where I can get them chilled. From what I've read, the refrigerated ones are the best, otherwise the live cultures just die, so I've got to read the ones available on Vitacost, to see if that problem can be overcome.

Do any of youse guyses know about this, ones that aren't refrigerated? Do you have a link to some that are good, even if they're not refrigerated?

I don't care where I have to get them from, or really even the cost, but I don't want subpar probiotics.

I've suffered with inflammation my whole life, up until going gluten and dairy free.

been in the hospital twice with colitis, they gave me the same antibiotics that did nothing.

I've linked the colitis and inflammation directly with gluten.

Vegan is a fad that still includes gluten.

Cut out gluten and dairy, limit your sugar

replace gluten with rice

I'm looking at this one--

[link to www.vitacost.com (secure)]

--and it says it's room temp stable, and as well, the reviews are very good, with people saying it helped them.

I like Jarrow products, I've taken them before.

Unless someone can recommend something better today, then I'm going to add that to my order of supplements I have to order by midnight tonight, in order to get 20% off my order.

I do take a very good turmeric and a lot of other very good supplements. I also do eat well, I'm at like 90% organic on my fruits and veggies. I check everything I buy, that it's not GMO...but I do know pre-made foods, like donuts, come with no guarantees. I am going to have to cut back on chocolaty, sweet pre-made foods. When I buy chocolate to eat or cook with, I use organic, dark chocolate. I also have organic cocoa powder.

I'm really not that much of a slob with what I put in my mouth.

If your daughter has Crohn's disease, did she have antibiotics at an earlier time in life? Or maybe the mother when carrying the baby?

You are a dumb animal. Too dumb to get educated.
Can't teach someone as dumb as you, so I will not bother.
You are wasting everyone's time venting your cesspool you call your opinion. Go shit somewhere else.

These uncultured savages don't know what C-diff means.
So I will clarify it. Clostridium Difficile, which is a bacteria which is normally present in the colon and is in balance with other bacteria, but if someone allows the demons called doctors to give someone antibiotics, it will wipe the good bacteria but the Clostridium Difficile is extremely resistant to it, maybe even immune and so it becomes very abundant.
Clostridium Difficile is a hospital sickness due to antibiotics treatment.

OP totally ignored my post so I guess she is too dumb to learn. OP does not realize its an infection and the cause must be destroyed. Dabbling with diets is not going to 'magically' kill off the pathogens.
But apparently the simple primitive nature of people makes them think healthy food will cure everything.

Eating healthy food is good, but do not expect it to cure the root cause of infection if you don't know the cause.
But as I said OP ignored my post so I will leave her to dabble with whatever nonsense diet she wants.
